Hi- Im new to this site and new to lasers.
Got a problem that needs to be solved- Just bought a Laserpro 30w Spirit and want to make 4"x8" box but have been doing the corners with butt joints. Can the laser do 45 degree angles? I work with Photoshop, Corel and Illustrator. I was thinking if I were to do a rectangle box using the gradient tool with white edges out like 3D would that help. Has anyone ever tried this? Also working with 4mm MDF and thin veneer. If you have does anyone have the settings for this? With the butt joints it take 2 passes almost 15 minutes. setting is 100 power ppi 400 and speed of 1.5. light egde smoke burn. solved with medium adhesive tape covering the board. This is for one box.
LaserPro Manual includes nothing about settings for other types of material. Anyone got a basis? Hate having to call in for every little thing! Although their really nice.
Another question has anyone ever bought the book CorelDraw for lasers from LaserBits? If so is it worth it? Anything special about it.
Thanks for your help-Many more questions to follow:)
